Tailwind CSS v4.2.0: Official Webpack Plugin, 4 New Palettes, Logical Properties
release
MEDIUM
Tailwind CSS v4.2.0 released February 18, 2026. Key additions: (1) first-party @tailwindcss/webpack plugin — no more PostCSS boilerplate for webpack pipelines; (2) four new default color palettes: mauve, olive, mist, taupe; (3) complete logical property utilities for RTL/i18n support (block padding, margin, border, scroll); (4) 3.8x faster incremental recompilation. Deprecates start-*/end-* in favor of new logical property naming.

ODS Impact
ODS Dashboard (Next.js + Tailwind CSS). Vite-based setup already works well with v4.0 vite plugin; webpack plugin is not immediately needed. New color palettes and logical properties beneficial for future i18n work. No breaking changes for current usage.
